Ensemble from Enamor’s Spring Summer ’22 collection
Enamor’s survey seeks to deeply understand its customers and to deliver on their evolving needs. Enamor recently launched its soulful Spring Summer 2022 Athleisure collection, which is designed around the theme of Dhyana and Surya, and evokes a sense of wellness. The entire collection has been made using fabrics that are breathable, 4-way stretch, quick dry, sweat wicking with anti-odour properties to make women feel secure and comfortable.
A majority of women who participated in the survey – 87% say that exercising is a part of their routine. Of these, nearly 66% of women exercise more than 3 times a week and 72% women prefer to do Yoga.
Home based DIY (Do It Yourself) yoga workouts are on the rise. With instructional video resources for Yoga easily available across online platforms, it can be practiced anywhere and anytime. 45% of women prefer DIY yoga which gives them the flexibility to incorporate it into their routine at their own convenience. Compared to this 17% women say that they attend in person sessions while 14% have enrolled in an online class with a Yoga professional.
The phrase, ‘Dress for success‘ clearly applies to the world of fitness. 79% of all women surveyed say that the right outfit for Yoga enhances their performance and improves their experience with the activity. There’s science to back this up. One study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology suggests that clothing influences behavior and attitudes because it carries a symbolic meaning. So, what you wear subconsciously changes how you act.
“As a brand, we keep up with the lifestyle and fashion trends, understanding the evolving needs of the modern Indian woman. An active lifestyle is clearly one that women wish to follow, and this comes out in our survey too. There is a growing desire to invest in new age products with sustainable, durable, and high-quality materials that are both functional and stylish. Our new athleisure collection is a response to this. With innovative designs, it delivers on both comfort and style that allows women to easily transition for an active lifestyle, both on and off the mat,” said Sandra Daniels, Vice President Marketing at Enamor.
